An album by Aurora Argentea, a unit featuring singer/pianist Nami Hotatsu, who has been creating even more evolved Gaia-inspired music alongside sho player Takashi Ishikawa. This release includes re-edited and remastered tracks, featuring original versions and alternate arrangements of songs from Nami Hotatsu's LP Hotasu-Nami (Ultra-Hyper Cosmic Voice), along with previously unreleased material. The album captures the essence of Nami Hotatsu's unique world, showcasing the pure, delicate brilliance of her artistry and the distinctive bass and presence of analog synthesizers, miraculously restored from DAT tapes. A booklet featuring artwork created by Nami Hotatsu, based on drawings by Takashi Ishikawa, is also included.
